Default Speeding on Appleby line

A while back someone posted about stealthy cop cars and i pointed out that Appleby Line was particularly treacherous and unforgiving.

Unfortunately....

Yes I saw that spot the day after the scene opened up. At 5:30 in the morning it would have been dark and this bend is very sharp if taken at anything over the posted limit. Four years ago someone else went down into those woods when he missed the guardrail but because it was in snowing and his speed lower he was alright. His car wasn't but the driver was. The problem is the owner of the property has to be able to drive into his lot so they can't very well put armco across his driveway! Now we can look forward to ENHANCED radar here for many months because of some silly people. It's too bad about the driver but Darwin Rules apply here I'm afraid.

That looks like it's down near the bottom of Britannia and Walkers Line. Did you roll that over the fence Zookie?! Holy Crap!
